Additional
Information About 2016-17 Annual Education Report

For more information
about the 2016-17 Annual Education Report, please refer to this memo from the Michigan Department
of Education.

The Annual Education Report (AER) provides the public with detailed
information on teacher quality, student assessment and accountability for
schools, districts, and the state in one convenient place.

The data are important because it both provides public transparency of
educational reporting and helps school districts easily package all of the
required data elements needed for federal reporting in one location, to save
valuable time and resources.

The Annual Education Report is designed to meet the federal requirements of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act for annual reporting. For this
report, CEPI provides all of the information on teacher quality, student
assessment and accountability for schools, districts and the state as well as
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) information. You can search
by entity (school, district, intermediate school district, and statewide). You
can select each of these four reports:

Teacher
Qualifications: Identifies teacher qualifications in relation to
requirements. Here you can find how many teachers in a school, district or
across the state possess specific qualifications.

Student
Assessment:
Presents assessment information for English language arts and mathematics
for grades 3 to 8 and 11, and science for grades 4, 7 and 11, compared to
targets for all students as well as subgroups of students. The report
helps users understand achievement progress within grades and schools, and
to make comparisons to district, state and national achievement
benchmarks.

Accountability Scorecard: Uses information from
assessments, graduation and attendance rates to determine if the school
and district are meeting accountability targets. Here you can identify how
well your school and district are serving the overall academic needs of
students. More information about the Accountability Scorecards is
available at: http://www.michigan.gov/schoolscorecard.

NAEP report. The NAEP, commonly referred to as
"the Nation's Report Card," is another important assessment tool used
to determine student progress. NAEP administers a state level assessment in
mathematics and reading every two years. The most current results are from the
year 2015. NAEP and M-STEP have different assessment frameworks, and define
their performance level descriptions differently, so they can't be directly
compared. NAEP is administered in the winter; M-STEP is administered in the
spring. NAEP data is reported at the state level only. The NAEP report is the
same for all Michigan school districts and provides a benchmark showing how
Michigan students performed on national performance standards.

You can easily link to, print with
cover letter, and distribute these reports to fulfill all annual education
report requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) until
the full implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). To fulfill
the state's requirements for an annual education report, the district and
schools must add the following components:

The process for assigning students to each
school

The status of school improvement plan

A description of each specialized school

The status of core curriculum implementation

Information about locally administered
assessments

Parent-Teacher conference data

Postsecondary and/or college accredited
courses and dual enrollment

Most of these data are locally
generated and can be addressed in the AER cover letters to fulfill both the
federal and state requirements in a single report. For more information about the 2016-17 Annual Education Report, please refer to this memo from the Michigan Department of Education.

The Annual Education Report includes
information related to assessments, accountability, and teacher quality,
including data from all local education agencies in the state. The four data
elements for the AER are assessments, accountability, teacher quality, and
NAEP.

To meet federal guidelines, the report
includes this assessment data:

All students in all grade levels that have
been tested, not just students enrolled for a full academic year.

Assessment data on reading/language arts and
mathematics assessments.

Beginning with the 2007-2008 school years,
required data from science assessments.

The report includes the following
accountability data required on state report cards:

Data on student
performance on the state’s additional academic indicators.

The report also includes the following
required teacher quality data for public elementary and secondary school
teachers:

The professional qualifications of all public
elementary and secondary teachers in the state (e.g., bachelors and advanced
degrees, licensure).

The percentage of all public elementary and
secondary teachers teaching with emergency or provisional credentials.

The percentage of classes in the state not
taught by highly qualified teachers.

Report Labels

Location/Name/Type/Entity:You can
select and compare data at different entity levels: statewide, by intermediate
school district (ISD), by school district, and by individual schools that
include all local education agency (LEA) and public school academy (PSA)
schools. It is important to note public school academies are also referred to
as charter schools and considered their own district.

Economically Disadvantaged:Students
eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunch based on family economic status.

English Learners:English
Learners are students who speak a language other than English as their primary
language and who have difficulty speaking, reading, writing, or understanding
English.

Migrant Students:Students
whose families have moved within the previous 36 months to obtain temporary or
seasonal work in agriculture or fishing.

Students with Disabilities:Students
with one or more specific impairments that require special education or related
services and have an Individual Education Plan (IEP).

<10, <5%, >95%:These
labels will be used in place of the actual data when there is a risk of
identifying an individual student (unless you have logged in as a secure user).

Data Collection

The Center for Educational Performance and
Information (CEPI) collected the data used to compile this report. The databases used include:

CEPI's Michigan
Student Data System (MSDS), to locate the student's high school building,
district, and intermediate school district as well as demographics. Specific
rules about the collection can be found in the MSDS Collection Details Manual.

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Bureau of
Assessment and Accountability, which sets policies for M-STEP administration,
provided the test data.

The Completion Rate for the Bottom 30% Subgroup is required to be reported by federal law. Since the composition of the Bottom 30%
subgroup may vary widely by subject, which is not represented in graduation rates, and is based on standardized testing conducted
at least one year before a student’s anticipated graduation, the Department does not recommend or endorse using these data in school
planning or in evaluating the relative quality of schools.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is periodically administered by the U.S. Department of Education based on assessments administered to samples of students in each state. Federal regulations require the display of state level NAEP data on the Annual Education Report. These data represent the performance of the most recent sample of Michigan students on the NAEP.
